Additional Information

Insuring visitors' motorcycles touring the USA
and Canada is fairly straight forward,
especially when the on-line form has been fully
completed, and the authorized credit card is
processed without difficulty. Please ensure that
there is no hold on the credit card for charges
by third parties from overseas. Some visitors
travel with the intention to purchase their
motorcycle in the USA. Of course, we can only
begin the insurance process after the motorcycle
has been bought and a valid VIN [Vehicle
Identification Number] is available in order to
complete the insurance application. A temporary
registration must then be obtained from the
Department of Motor Vehicles [DMV] showing proof
of insurance. There should be no problem if the
motorcycle is purchased from a dealership as
they handle the registration and provide you
with the necessary temporary tag. However, it
can be much more complicated if the motorcycle
is purchased from a private owner. The
difficulties vary from state-to-state and from
DMV office-to-DMV office, depending on the clerk
that you are dealing with.
